    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Not that it has anything to do with anything here, but I liked his other famous line more: "I let him go".

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Thanks for asking. I feel a little silly for not having figured it out myself. I was thinking that some people "liked" it so as not to admit they didn't get it. Like the Blonde that laughted at a joke 3 times. Once when she first heard it. A second time when it was explained to her. A third...

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Who is this person or entity that doles out the proceeds of increased productivity? I can't say I've ever heard of that theory before.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    That might be true, but I just looked up the house I sold in 1989 for $92k. It recently sold for $750k. :mad: :eek:

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Just like being paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you, Being crazy doesn't mean you can't be a genius.

    Wealth Distribution in America

    And the driving force for automating many of the jobs at the bottom of the pile is a generous "minimum wage".

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Those are the people for whom we need a safety net. We don't need a safety net for people like my nephew and his girlfriend that won't get married because they would "lose their benefits".

    Wealth Distribution in America

    Not a chance of keeping this non-political. (sez I as I bite my tongue). Part of the reason I say that is you ask about consequences. I am more concerned about causes.

    Iphone text messages

    Suddenly, my iphone stopped getting texts from my wife. (honest, it did it by itself). I plodded through settings and finally got it to where I get her texts, but it doesn't "ding" like all my other texts do. (Yeah, I know, but I really didn't do this on purpose). In order to see her text I...

    Reel mower for taller grass.

    That one looks excellent, even if it is twice the price of other I have looked at, but I have come to really like Fiskars customer service. I bought a shovel of theirs (among other items). The thing was a heavy piece of steel but I could dig up rocks and cut through tree roots and pry out...

    Reel mower for taller grass.

    Around here that is considered "scalping". Perhaps it is because of the type of grass.

    Reel mower for taller grass.

    I am looking into reel mowers, largely for the exercise. I generally walk about 5 miles every morning and I often wish I could be doing something just a little more productive. Paying my lawn guy $200/month to mow is another (smaller) issue. But we have mostly St. Augustine grass which gets...

    Favorite coffee

    As much as I love coffee, that is why I have to settle for second best. I just can't do all that stuff in the morning. I had one of those coffee machines that grind the beans in the morning based on a time so it is ready when you get up. But my wife hated it because it woke her up before she...

    Ewwww. Mountain Dew is bad for you. I suggest anyone drinking that garbage switch to coffee.

    Favorite coffee

    No, it's not just in your head. Fresh ground does taste better. But grinding coffee every morning is, well, a grind. It's much easier and not really much less tasty to grind a bag when you buy it. Especially since the store is very convenient. I pass it almost every time I go anywhere.

    Favorite coffee

    I guess that even though this is a resurrected ancient thread, it is still relevant. There is a local health food store that sells about a dozen types of beans in bulk, and they have a grinder. I do own a grinder but it is easier to use theirs. No cleaning. I was a bit concerned about how...

    Why would you want to work to get used to not having something that is good for you and makes you feel better? SMH.
